Numbers Too Big To Comprehend

You kill 10 people, you go to Texas, they hit youwith a brick, that's what they do. 20 people, you go

to a hospital, they look through a small window at

you forever. And over that, we can't deal with it, you

know? Someone's killed 100,000 people. We'realmost going, "Well done! You killed 100,000

people? You must get up very early in the morning. I

can't even get down the gym!

If a service shares datatransparently with you, theres a

good chance youre the customer,

otherwise youre probably the

product.

We very deliberately chose not

to create a Flickr-blessedbackup application because we

hoped it was an opportunityindependent developers would

seize. In retrospect, maybe we

made the wrong decision.Aaron Straup Cope, Feb 2012

With Flickr you can get out, via the

API, every single piece of

information you put into the system

Not the most recent N, not a

subset of the data All of it. Itsyour data, and youve granted us a

limited license to use it.Kellan Elliott-McCrea, May 2010

Twitter #FAIL

Clients may access a theoretical maximum of 3,200 statuses Twitter still maintains a database of all the tweets sent by a user.However, to ensure performance of the site, this artificial limit is

temporarily in place.
